New battery

[Grumpy Goat]

Well my battery came in today.  Shipped from Champlain NY via USPS.  This thing is HEAVY.  Good thing I have lost a couple of pounds lately.  Voltage as received is 12.88, so should be all good to go.  I think this weekend is battery install, and tire replacement.  Perhaps also rear brake pads, which I have in stock.  Will report after it's done.

Great. Yes it is not light but as I mentioned before, in my case before I spend money getting any sort of featherlight battery (or exhaust) I have to lose maybe 30# and gain a whole lot more riding skill. I think you'll be satisfied with this battery and the fact that your normal mattery charger / maintainer would be able to work with it. Have fun installing these new bits - battery and pads should be 1/2 hour ... tires ... that can be an adventure.
